My Deep, Dark Secret

We've made it to the fifth submission Oprah's site suggests all women write down this year: A Deep, Dark Secret. They are talking about revealing something most people don't know about you or something that they'd never guess about you.

Ok, here it goes. I am a hopeless sentimental romantic. I am. Really. I love to read the classics and I love to watch romance movies. And I will sob like Niagara Falls. Every. Single. Time. I kid you not.

If any of you can name a book I haven't read (and I mean classics, NOT cheesy romance novels) or movie I haven't seen, I'll be on it. I love them all. Well, most of them. There are a couple that are even too cheesy for this sentimental romantic.

Now, some of you are thinking, "Ha! I already knew that about you so this is NOT a secret!" True. But, do you know WHY I sob like Niagara Falls?

Here's the secret: I sob all those gazillion of tears because that's the love story I want for my very own. That's the kind of love I would love to experience. The kind that very few people I know have. The kind that I missed out on. The kind that comes around only once in a lifetime.

I'm not jealous of those who have it. I'm not cynical about love either. I'm just lacking in it. But, and here's where the hopeless part comes in, I still, to this very day, hold out hope that I will have it.

And that's my deep, dark secret. Well, one of them. Ha!

Anyone care to share their deep, dark secret? Or would you rather keep it a secret?

I've been blogging for years now, and can't think of anything I haven't already revealed. Seriously. Maybe I haven't written about having worked for the FBI, in Washington, for four years, but it's on my LindedIn profile, so even that isn't really a secret. I cry at movies, but not necessarily the romantic love stories. I'm not romantic at all, and neither is Joe. I have a concealed weapon license. But I've shared that, too.

Wish I could think of something shocking to share with you. A friend just told me the very same thing that you have shared. She wants to experience that kind of love. It came up because she just watched the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. She has just been brought a very difficult divorce.I hope you find that love someday.

I have to tell you Pam I have been reading and really enjoying and the fact that your sharing is awesome. There are things I could never reveal because, well I am afraid someone would get hurt because of the secrets I hold. However, the secret you shared, is one that would fit for me too.I'll keep reading and enjoying. And maybe one day share a bit so that others don't follow the road that I have.Blessings Pam.

Like Julie, I have a "secret" that many people who know me IRL know but I would never reveal on my blog, simply because I don't see the value in the damaage it would cause to a family member. Let's just say that I was molested, for two years, by a famly member when I was 9 or 10. I have healed from it, though, so "secret" doesn't really fit, but there you go.

Many, many couples I know have been beautifully matched by dating websites and found love the second (or third) time around; it will happen for you, and I love that you know that.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!

Let's share the laughs of midlife together!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!

I listed these gifts ideas back in May (Y'all can read that post HERE ) as good ideas for Empty Nest moms for Mother's Day but the...
